A Variety of Specialized Programs

Alchemy, Inc. offers a safe group environment for youth to focus on topics directly related to their stage of development. We emphasize behavior and the character traits necessary for young men to achieve their long-term goals. Our unique and innovative approach uses myth and fairy tales in group discussions of common mythological motifs such as sacrifice, trials, conflict resolution, decision-making, perseverance, humility, confidence and strength to promote an understanding of the developmental processes these young men need to emulate in their academic and social behavior.

Student Testimonial

Adolescent males should use the myth stories because it shows us a different way of life than what we see today.

Sergio - Alchemy Student

Alchemy, Inc.

The concept of Alchemy, Inc. is to provide a safe environment and sense of community to assist in the development of urban adolescent males through mentoring and the telling, discussion, and analysis of mythological stories and fairy tales told to the beat of an African drum.
